Pretty decent run this morning. After helping out with the Pine Valley 5K and 10K race Bill, Mike, Bruce and I left from Pine Valley and cruised down to Central. The Bull was already firing on all cylinders, so we tried to slow him down a bit. Ran the first 9.5 miles in 7:07 pace. Then after a short drink at Central I took off and pushed the pace for 4 miles (averaged 6:30 pace) then slowed up to around 7:05 pace for the last two miles. I was starting to heat up and felt a blister coming on, on my right foot back on the heal, in the weird place where I got some really bad blisters two years ago. Anyway, overall a good run. Hip was bothering me again most of the run, but that was to be expected. My hip hurts worse when I run downhill, but we don't get to run up in Pine Valley very often, so that was nice and the temperature wasn't too bad, except for the last 5 to 6 miles. Stratus-343 |
